All Zachtronics games are a strong recommend for anybody who doesn't already know them.

Exapunks and Opus Magnum are probably the more casual ones to get into, but everything they make is awesome and pretty challenging.



One at a time, low text density, advanced settings obfuscated at best and removed at worst, quick shortcuts (cpl and such) won't exist anymore. The settings are a fantastic way to solve absolutely nothing by clicking on very large buttons.


Paychonautwiki has been classifying effects in a somewhat similar fashion for years/decades now: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Geometry


Truly the work of delve elopers.

This article was a joy to read, both for explanations and visuals. I'm not knowledgeable at all in visual generatio but I'm now wondering about other uses to extend the method.

What other shapes can be coupled (with the technique to create those various storms) in order to create large-scale transitions, where for example a large vortex would follow a sigmoid over the other zones.

Or even in what subtle ways could the visuals follow the envelope of a Hans-Zimmeresque audio background..

Thanks for having shared this blog!


Same here.

Wrote a simple program to which I added Fire to parse arguments as a CLI, and Gooey/Tkinter for a GUI on top of it. To get a working standalone .exe file which does not require folders on the side, Pyinstaller did the job. Unfortunately it also triggers antivirus scans for some AVs..


Thank you for sharing this, beautiful and tragic as it is.
